The KLA iMicro Nanoindenter used was purchased with funds from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR RII program () awarded to the New Hampshire Center for Multiscale Modeling and Manufacturing of Biomaterials (NH BioMade; Brad Kinsey, Mechanical Engineering, Â鶹app (UNH), PI).
Specifications:
- InForce 1000 actuator for capacitance displacement measurement and electromagnetic force actuation with interchangeable tips
- High-speed electronics with 100kHz data acquisition rate and 20µs time constant
- Automated XY motion system with 2 position magnetic puck sample holder
- High stiffness gantry with integrated vibration isolation
- Integrated microscope with digital zoom for precise indentation targeting
- InView software package with RunTest, ReviewData, InFocus reporting
- NanoBlitz 3D generates 3D maps of nanomechanical properties by performing up 100,000 indents (300×300 array) at < 1s per indent, and provides Young’s modulus (E), hardness (H), and stiffness (S) values at a specified load for each indent in the array.
- Tips available for use include Berkovich and Vickers
